Adenomyosis as the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium is an elusive condition that is challenging to diagnose due to the similarity between its clinical symptoms and ultrasound characteristics and those of other frequent benign conditions such as leiomyomatosis1. Over recent years, transvaginal sonography (TVS) has been recommended as an appropriate tool for...

Infertility is defined as the failure to conceive a desired pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected intercourse, and affects 10 percent of married couples. The causes of infertility can involve one or both partners. Causes of female infertility: • Fallopian tube factors (damage or blockage due to salpingitis, EP) • Ovulation disorders (PCOS ,Early menopause ) • Uterine factors • Intrauterine l...

Introduction: Colour Doppler has emerged as useful adjunct to transvaginal sonography in evaluation of women with AUB. This study was carried out evaluate the role measurement Resistance index (RI) and Pulsatility (PI) uterine arteries by discriminate between benign malignant endometrial condition abnormal bleeding.Material Methods: prospective analytical performed 70 (30-60 years) Spiral arter...

Our purpose was to compare the ultrasound visualization of the early first-trimester embryo using transvaginal and intrauterine sonography. In all, 32 women about to undergo therapeutic abortion at 6-8.9 weeks gestation were studied using a specially developed catheter-based, high-resolution, real-time miniature (2.4 mm outer diameter) ultrasonography transducer (20 MHz). Before the intrauterin...

Uterine leiomyomas or uterine fibroids are the most common gynaecological tumours and occur in about 20-50% of women around the world. Ultrasonography (USG) is the first-line imaging examination in suspected fibroids and shows high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing this condition. Ultrasound scans can be performed transvaginally (transvaginal scan - TVS) or transabdominally (transabdomi...

OBJECTIVE To assess pain and overall experience of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in asymptomatic postmenopausal women. METHODS In the United Kingdom Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS), 50 639 postmenopausal women were randomized to undergo annual TVS at 13 trial centers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Together with the appointment letter for their annual scan, a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate preoperative real-time dynamic transvaginal sonography (TVS) in the prediction of pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in women undergoing laparoscopy for suspected endometriosis. METHODS This was a multicenter prospective observational study undertaken from January 2009 to November 2011. All women with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis who were scheduled for laparosco...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the importance of subjecting the patient to an outpatient (office) hysteroscopy (OH) before assisted reproductive techniques (ART) and patient compliance, possible side effects, and complications of the procedure. DESIGN Comparative observational cross-sectional study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENT(S) One hundred fifty-two patients attending the outpatient inf...
